Pool
Huntingdon Valley Swim Club located in Philadelphia has just settled a lawsuit with Creative Steps day camp and 50 of its campers for racial discrimination. In 2009, Creative Steps paid a member fee to allow the campers and counselors to use the pool for the summer. When the camp arrived on the first day they were baffled by the racist comments they had heard. Members of the club had name called and discriminated against the campers, most of whom are minorities. The Swim Club revoked their membership to the pool and refunded their membership fees. The U.S. Justice Department involved themselves after Creative Steps Inc. and the parents of the campers filed a lawsuit against the Huntingdon Valley Swim Club. Shortly after, Valley Swim Club filed for bankruptcy and sold the pool for $1.46 million. When bankruptcy case is finished the remaining funds will go to the 50 campers and Creative Steps for emotional damage done by the club.
